Noteworthy Characteristics
Lady Vansittart is one of the most impressive camellias today. A true garden jewel! As seen in the picture to the right, this Lady is one of those camellias that is known to throw many different sports on the same plant!
Uses
Lady Vansittart camellia can be used in the landscape in straight or curved rows to form colorful, evergreen hedges and screens. It can also be "limbed up" to form a very attractive small tree placed in small groupings or as a focal point specimen. It is perfect for use as espalier: trained to grow flat against a wall.
Culture
Camellias prefer a fertile, moist but well-drained, acidic soil. Constantly soggy soil is a slow killer. Your new camellia should not need regular watering after the first year unless there are extended periods of dry weather during summer. Camellias do best in partial shade or filtered sun. Avoid afternoon direct sun
